spotify models.player.load(...) promise not resolving

Question

Anyone ever notice the Promise from models.player.load("context","playing"); simply doesn't come back (which is to say it neither fails nor dones)?

This doesn't happen every time I try the operation, only sporadically.

Working with API version 1.0.0, on Spotify for Windows.

Answer 1

Yep, timeouts don't seem to fail or done. At least I assume they're timeouts, because of their sporadic appearance, and different behavior for different users.

Can be pretty frustrating. Only option I know of at this point is a success flag and a retry timer.
